ProntoPro.it - Junior Startupper (German Speaker)

Milano - Marketing

US

ProntoPro.it is Italy’s largest local-service marketplace. Although we are experiencing extremely rapid growth, we haven’t yet achieved our objective. We are looking for brilliant people to help us achieve it.

Our objective is to have a real social impact on Italy, Switzerland and Austria: we wish to bring transparency and meritocracy in a market where they are severely lacking, and give work to the people who really deserve it. We also firmly believe that, in order to have a meaningful impact, it is not enough to create value for a few customers: we need to build and scale product that will be used by millions.

We are a startup experiencing explosive growth: in March 2015 we launched with 2 people, 24 months later we reached 100 people. Average age is 29, our office is all open-space, and we strive di minimize bureaucracy: everyone has great responsibility and directly impacts our success. We have prestigious institutional investors such as Immobiliare.it, while our angel investors and advisors hold leadership positions at Google, Facebook, eBay, McKinsey and Unicredit; it’s safe to say we don’t have the risk profile of a typical startup.

We do have competitors: we actually were the last company to enter this market. However we are not concerned: we are now 3 times bigger than the second largest player.

We are looking for people who get excited at the prospect of building a huge company that will greatly affect the lives of millions. It’s not a quiet job – we pour our hearts into it.

You

You ache to work for a startup. You understand that startups grow and become huge, or fail and die. This does not scare you - you find it exciting;

You are itching for real responsibility - to be in a position where you can really make or break the company;

You want to build something huge that will change the way all your friends and family look for services;

You hate bureaucracy and the slowness of big corporations. You experienced it and are depressed at the thought of working there again;

You don't like symbols of power. You want to work in a small team, all under 35, in an open-space startup-like environment without corner offices or fancy furniture;

You figure things out. You do not expect nor need hand-holding;

You have the startup all-hands-on-deck I'll-make-it-happen-no-matter-what approach!

Your job

You will do everything. You will support the Operations Team in ensuring that our service works. You will ensure that demand and supply match, that customer satisfaction is high, that service level requirements are met. You will be solving problems that have never been solved before, so no one will be able to teach you; you will think, try, fail, repeat, and win.

Your job will transform several times. Initially you will be taking over simple tasks as a way to learn the ins and outs of ProntoPro.it; but quickly you will be expected to go beyond, look and what can be improved and bring your unique contribution to ProntoPro. We are looking for enterpreneurs who take real ownership, not people who are waiting for someone to tell them what to do.

Your future

If there is mutual desire to do so, the internship can transform into full-time employment. If we both wish to continue but you still need to graduate, we can find flexible solutions (part-time, or simply wait until graduation). There's so much to do, that every new hire is a win for the company.
